While it was unexpected, seeing those police swearing in while we were waiting for our chance to make it into the city hall was the first time I can recall actually seeing a gun in Germany. It shows how much of a difference there is in regards to the regulation of firearms between here and [...]

Day 9 - Hamburg Today, I walked around the city using a surprisingly successful method of travel - I kept following the tallest buildings I could see. I visited a couple of churches and a couple of major city locales, but my favorite would have to be St. Michael’s church; the view at the top [...]

Day 8 - Hamburg Unfortunately I was unable to attend the excursions for the day, but I did take a bus to the city center for some dinner and to run some errands. The city center is a very interesting place to be; it’s an eclectic mix of foods and stores, as well as an [...]

It was especially cool to see the older models they had on display in their museum. It was also interesting to see how their production line was similar [...]

Miniature World was set up in an arrangement of classic scenes from each country from Europe and the United States. In each of these countries, there were trains and other vehicles that moved along tracks and roads just like they [...]
